Until now, no nation has ever succeeded in breaking Germany's streak as ruling dressage country. Germany's domination is threefold according to Werth: First of all the Germans have good horses. They employ great accuracy in the selection of breeding stallions and the matchmaking of brood mare and sire. Secondly, Germany has a tradition of producing great trainers, which have the ability to pass on their knowledge in an efficient way. Most of the good trainers avoid short cuts and the pushing of young horses to a high level. Thirdly, Germany is lucky to have a huge amount of talented riders, who have many opportunities available to them to develop their talents.

"All these things together form a good basis which produces good combinations between trainer and rider, "For example Monica Theodorescu and her father Georg, or Dr. Uwe Schulten-Baumer and myself," Werth explained.
